As many new mums will know, life changes immeasurably after becoming a parent.

Many people find it hard to resume their pre-baby routines, meaning everyday routines like drinking a cup of tea or exercising are compromised.

For instance, it takes the average mum a whole seven months to go on a night out with friends after giving birth, according to a poll of 1,500 mothers with children aged 10 and under commissioned by Matalan.

Meanwhile it will take five months before they have an alcoholic drink.

Enjoying a cup of tea or coffee will also pose a problem, with mums saying it took five weeks before they could sit down and enjoy a hot cuppa without it going cold.
